t. Shimin
He was the first one who did the forbidden act of looking at the Court Historian's records. This made the court historian unable to write a relatively objective history but had to conform to the view of the emperor to appease him.

>In the old days in northern China, men sometimes let travelers sleep with their wives in the belief, one Chinese scholar told National Geographic that "outsiders were distinguished and would bring their family new blood and a better future." On the subject Marco Polo wrote of a man who runs a boarding house and "tells his wife to do all that the stranger wishes...And the stranger stays with his wife in the house and does as he likes and lies with her in bed." Polo called the women who did this as “fair and gay and wanton."
